Ernest Hemingway's groundbreaking prose style and examination of timeless themes made him one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century. Yet in Ernest Hemingway: Thought in Action , Mark Cirino observes, "Literary criticism has accused Hemingway of many things but thinking too deeply is not one of them."
